Intelligent debundling robots help improve efficiency in steel coil production.

 A nimble robot effortlessly rotates and descends, its arm quickly and precisely extending over the steel coil. With a crisp "click," the robot decisively cuts the steel strapping. The robot then swiftly moves to the strapping collection device, rolls the unwound straps into neat rolls, and deposits them into a dedicated strapping hopper. This completes the unbundling of the steel coils. All this is accomplished with a simple click of the "Start" button by the operator in the control room, truly achieving "one-click start, fully automatic operation."

Since introducing this automated debundling robot at Jingye Gaopin Steel Technology Co., Ltd., such efficient, safe, and intelligent operations have been a daily occurrence in the workshop, significantly improving the efficiency and safety of debundling operations.


This automated debundling robot system integrates cutting-edge technologies, including industrial robots, machine tools, hydraulic systems, electrical controls, intelligent sensors, and network communications. Using a high-precision laser ranging sensor, it automatically detects the direction of the coil head and intelligently performs strapping and cutting operations based on the strapping position. The cut waste straps are automatically rolled into coils and smoothly transported to a dedicated collection hopper via a conveyor belt. The entire assembly and disassembly process is seamlessly integrated, achieving a success rate exceeding 99%.

This innovative technology has become a valuable asset for Jingye High-quality Steel Technology's workers. The automated debundling robot not only efficiently handles the task of unbundling steel coils but also plays a significant role in ensuring production safety and improving efficiency. It successfully replaces the manual strapping process, effectively avoiding surface damage to the coils and employee safety risks that can occur with manual operation. It also doubles the debundling speed, significantly boosting production efficiency.


On September 25, 2023, Jingye High-quality Steel Technology celebrated a significant milestone with the official launch of its automated robotic debundling system for pickled and cold-rolled steel coils. To date, the company has introduced nine automatic debundling robots, which are extensively deployed in production lines such as pickling, continuous annealing, hood annealing, and galvanizing, marking a continued rise in its intelligent capabilities. Furthermore, Gaopingang Technology has further expanded its application of automation technology, including the introduction of automated bundling and labeling robots and the launch of an unmanned overhead crane project. Upon completion, the crane is expected to feature fully automatic control, precise movement, and programmable execution capabilities, simulating the judgment and actions of a real operator to autonomously complete lifting tasks, thus propelling Jingye Gaopingang Technology to a new level of intelligent capabilities.


Jingye Group, a multinational conglomerate primarily focused on steel, operates multiple production bases and is involved in various fields, including steel processing, additive manufacturing (3D printing), and international trade. Its diverse product offerings include medium and heavy plate, hot-rolled coil, and rebar, and it has received numerous awards, including "Meritorious Enterprise for the 40th Anniversary of Reform and Opening Up in the Steel Industry."

History of the World Shipbuilding Industry

 Archaeological evidence suggests that humans arrived in Borneo at least 120,000 years ago, probably from China in maritime Asia, during a continental ice age when seas and islands were shorter (see History of Borneo and Papua New Guinea for distances ). 50,000 years ago, the ancestors of Australian aborigines and New Guinea traveled to both sides of Sahul in the Lombok Strait by boat. As early as 3000 BC, the early Egyptians knew how to assemble planks of wood into the hull of a ship. The early Egyptians also knew how to assemble treenails tied together with planks, using caulked seam spacing. "Khufu's Ship", a 43.6-meter vessel entering the foundation pit at the foot of the Sealed Pyramids of Giza in the Great Pyramid of Giza, 4th Dynasty, around 2500 BC, is a full-scale surviving example, probably Has fulfilled the function of symbolizing a solar barque. The early Egyptians also knew how to tie mortise and tenon joints together with the planks of their ships. The oldes...

Thermal Power Plant

 A thermal power plant refers to a thermal power plant that uses steam extraction or exhaust steam from a steam turbine to provide heat to users while generating electricity. The main working principle is to use the hot water after the thermal power plant generates electricity, and heat it after reheating. Since thermal power plants both generate electricity and heat, the boiler capacity is larger than that of thermal power plants of the same scale. Thermal power plants must have more boiler capacity than general thermal power plants for backup, and the water treatment capacity is also large. A thermal power plant must be close to the heat load center, and is often the center of a town in a densely populated area. Its water use, land acquisition, demolition, and environmental protection requirements are much higher than those of a thermal power plant with the same capacity. At the same time, a heat pipe network is also built. Thermal power plant operating characteristics The operat...
